'''Stinger (Paralyzing Venom)''' is a [[Mutations#Physical Mutations|physical mutation]] that grants the player a {{favilink id|Stinger Paralysis}} that delivers [[Paralyzed|paralyzing]] venom on a successful attack.


When striking, the stinger has a chance of injecting [[paralyzed|paralyzing]] venom with a toughness save of (14 + Level).
The stinger functions as a [[Long Blade|Long Blade]]-class weapon, benefitting from any skills the player has within that tree. It has a flat 20% chance to attack in melee if it is not your primary weapon; if it is, it will attack 100% of the time, but will only apply it's venom 20% of the time. If the player uses the [[Charge]] or [[Lunge]] abilities, the stinger will always attack and always apply venom if it hits.  


==Duration Calculation==
The stinger's damage and penetration are based on mutation level; however, the stinger is only able to penetrate a single time, regardless of circumstance.
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Level
This mutation grants the player the "Sting" ability, allowing the player to make an attack with their stinger that will always hit and penetrate, ignoring stats like your own Accuracy and {{PV}}[[PV]], as well as the target's {{DV}}[[DV]] and {{AV}}[[AV]]. An attack made using this ability will always apply venom.
!Duration
 
|-
When venom is applied, the target will become paralyzed for a number of rounds based on mutation level, being unable to act until the effect wears off. Paralysis additionally sets the target's {{DV}}DV to 0. The target has a chance to make a [[Attributes#Toughness|Toughness]] [[Save|save]] against the paralysis, with the difficulty being based on mutation level. If this is successful, the target will "resist" the paralysis. Non-biological creatures, such as robots, cannot be paralyzed.

== Formulas ==
|-
The following formulas are used to determine penetration (rounded down), duration of paralysis (rounded down), and save difficulty against paralysis based on mutation level. Note that penetration cannot exceed {{PV}}13, and the duration of paralysis cannot exceed {{Dice tooltip|1d3+7}} rounds.
|style="text-align:right;"| [3,4]
{|class="wikitable"
|1d3+1
! Penetration if Level ≥ 2
|-
| {{simple formula| ((Level - 2) / 3 + 4) + 4 }}
|style="text-align:right;"| [5,6]
|1d4+1

|style="text-align:right;"| > 6
! Duration if Level ≥ 3
|1d5+((Level - 6) / 2 + 1)
| {{simple formula| 1d3+(Level / 3 + 1) }}
|-
!Save Difficulty
| {{simple formula| 14 + Level * 2 }}
|}
|}
==Advancement Table==
If the mutation level is less than 2, penetration is {{PV}}7, and if it's less than 3, duration is 2-4 rounds. Additionally, damage is not determined by a formula and instead is determined by meeting certain level thresholds.
